Lan Wangshu grimaced on the wooden bed. The bed was too hard. With her skinny and flat figure without any flesh on her body, it felt even harder.
"Sister, can't you sleep?"
"The bed is too hard. I need to make a thicker mattress next time."
There was something dangerous in Lan Luochen's gaze in the dark night. He was already certain that the person in front of him was indeed not the original Lan Wangshu. That woman would not say such a thing. When he suggested putting a layer of pad on the wooden bed, he was scolded for being a squeamish person.
But he didn't care who it was, as long as it was her. He had never had such an easy life. In the past, he was beaten while working every day. His hands were covered with knife-like cracks and black marks inside. They could not be washed away. Every time she asked them to wash their hands before eating, they would hate the previous sister even more. Why couldn't they wash them clean?
"Sister is right. Let's go to the county town to buy it tomorrow."
He couldn't bear to see his sister suffer now. Once he entered the county school, he would have an identity and could copy books to earn money. He wouldn't need his sister to give him living expenses. In the future, all the money he earned would be spent on his sister to make her happy every day.
"Okay, I just happened to want to go find Boss He."
"What are you doing with him?"
Lan Luochen felt uncomfortable. What was there to worry about after just meeting her once? If she dared to like Boss He, he could only give her half of his earnings in the future. He turned over, turned his back to the curtain, and sulked.
"To make money. After we eat the ice porridge today, we can sell it to the restaurant. Then we will have a suitable business. When we build a house, no one will be jealous. And there will be no trouble from grandma."
Although Lan Wangshu has the mind of an adult, her body is really disappointing. She is thin and small and can't do anything. She is not afraid of trouble, but she will avoid it if possible. Who would make their life more difficult for no reason?
Hearing this, he felt relieved. The man surnamed He was good-looking and was also a big boss. He was really afraid that his sister would be tempted and would be hurt. A family like that would not want a peasant girl as their wife.
He had to study hard and pass the imperial examination quickly so that his sister's status could be improved. His sister deserved to be matched with the best man in the world.
"Sister, what kind of person do you want to marry in the future?"
"Ah? I never thought about it. I'm still young."
Lan Luochen was silent. Was there something wrong with her perception of herself? She would be 15 years old next year, while other girls would have been engaged by then.
"Sister, do you really want to establish a female household? According to the laws of Dazhao, I can't get married in the future."
His voice was a little muffled, and she realized why County Magistrate He had reacted that way last time. The words had been spoken, and the letter of recommendation had been obtained. This female household must be established. As a modern woman, she could not have imagined that there would be such a good thing.
"Why not? I can do what I like wholeheartedly. I don't have a mother-in-law above me or a sister-in-law below me. I can be free and comfortable. When you all get married, I will have children to take care of."
Lan Luochen still couldn't accept that he would get married and have children with another woman in the future, so he stopped the subject, said he was going to sleep, and closed his eyes.
Lan Wangshu looked at the curtain. Why was this kid so moody? Wasn’t he the one who brought up the topic? It was really incomprehensible.
The next morning, Lan Wangshu had his meal, gave a few instructions and went out.
"There are still some omelets in the pan. You can eat them directly at noon. Be careful."
"I know, sister."
Lan Wangshu shook her head. She had to find some time to educate these two children. They had to have something to do at home when she was not around. She was still worried about the children being too young.
"Sister, let's go."
When I arrived under the tree at the entrance of the village, I saw the familiar Uncle Niu, the familiar ox cart, and the familiar swaying sound.
After entering the county town, the brother and sister went straight to He Ji Dingzhenlou with a clear goal.
The waiter at the door reached out to stop them, glanced at them several times, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Who are you? Do you think anyone can enter Dingzhen Tower?"
"Why can't we go in?"
Lan Luochen stood obediently behind Lan Wangshu, observing the interaction between the two.
"You can go in if you want. Pay one or two taels of silver as a deposit first."
"I can pay it, but everyone who goes in after me will have to pay it, or I'll sue you for fraud."
Lan Wangshu's expression remained unchanged. Her patched linen clothes and slender figure could not hide her straight back.
He took out a tael of gold from his sleeve, turned it in front of his eyes, and then put it back. The waiter's face suddenly turned red and his expression changed instantly.
"Go away, don't make trouble if you don't have money. This is not a place for you to act wild."
Lan Wangshu didn't expect the waiter to turn against her and pushed her hard, causing her to fall down a flight of stairs. Lan Luochen hurriedly reached out to help her, but he was too young and had no strength, and the basket in his hand fell to the ground, spilling a bowl of ice porridge.
"Oh my god, this is ice."
The people who were eating inside the building were originally just watching the fun, but when they saw the ice, they couldn't sit still anymore, as it was a rare thing.
